  • Patent number: 11722587
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a network recorder includes a storage device; a motherboard; and daughter-cards. Each of the daughter-cards includes an input port, a packet analyzer, an entropy calculator, a comparator, and a processor. The input port receives a plurality of computer data packets. The packet analyzer identifies header fields and a starting point of the payload data in the plurality of computer data packets. The entropy calculator examines the payload data of the plurality of the computer data packets to respectively generate an entropy estimate for each of the plurality of computer data packets. The comparator compares each entropy estimate with an entropy truncation threshold to generate an entropy exceed signal to indicate that the payload data of a computer data packet can be truncated to conserve storage space. The processor compresses at least some of the payload data of the plurality of computer data packets that are not truncated.

  • Publication number: 20220192888
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and device for visualizing and treating an injury, wound or skin, using a visual tourniquet and skin bandage system made of transparent materials. The inventive bandage system is capable of applying pressure while absorbing bodily fluids away from the wound or skin and providing support for the application of one or more medicaments or a combination of treatment gas and/or medicine. The inventive bandage system enables the practitioner to visually inspect and measure the size of the wound over time without removing or touching the bandage or tourniquet thereby reducing pain and contamination of the wound bed. One embodiment of the inventive bandage system continuously controls the wound bed temperature thereby reducing pain and inhibiting bacterial growth. Other embodiments of the inventive bandage system are used as a visual tourniquet to apply a combination of pressures to a wound or skin injury.
